KyraKyra came to know Unitarians thru her mother, Susan Merritt, in Venice, Florida, when she brought Kyra to a service. When her mother passed, Kyra wanted to honor her by attending a service locally. That was when she found Prairie UU and connected with the purpose and congregation from the first day. She has been attending for more than seven years and has been a member for about five years. Kyra has been active locally in schools volunteering and being a substitute teacher, and in government by running for State House. She is also a business/life coach in her private practice. She has been with her husband for over 25 years, and they have three children, a dog, Bodhi, and a cat Wiley.
